John, we are sad to report back that Brian Bush lost his race for City Court Judge in Chattanooga.

We were up against so much, including a powerful incumbent. While this is a hard loss, we don’t regret any of our work and commitment to support an incredible justice champion like Brian.

There’s no question about it: this was an uphill challenge. But it’s these kinds of races – with changemakers fighting on the local level – that are going to create the real justice we are working towards across the nation.

Brian lost by 2,218 votes. Many of the local races we are fighting in come down to fewer votes – which make the difference between a win and a loss.

This race result stings – but today we continue fighting for our endorsed candidates who have races in less than a week. We are ready to work even harder to see some wins on May 17th for communities in North Carolina and Oregon.

We can’t let this loss slow us down. Can we count on you to pitch in and elect Satana Deberry, Damon Chetson, Tim Emry, and Brian Decker – before May 17? Every dollar on this email goes directly to their final voter turnout efforts and goes a LONG way.

Losses like these are part of our reality. We punch WAY above our weight class, but sometimes special interests with giant war chests funding our opponents pull out ahead.

But it’s what we do now that defines our fight. Let’s rub the dirt off, push up our sleeves, reflect on our losses, and get back to work.

Every race we get involved in is an effort by this entire movement – so to throw down for these 4 DA candidates we need your support.

Please make a $3 donation right now to help our endorsed slate of DA candidates win their primaries in just 5 days.

In solidarity,

Real Justice
